alias lpr-d 'dvi2ps -r \!*.dvi | lpr -J\!*.dvi -T\!*.dvi; lpq'
By the way, this alias has one (very minor) bug, in that the job
name when the queue is shown is 'standard output', or something
like that. Anyone know how to fix it?
I just spent a half hour or so looking through the lpd sources for the
routines that print the queue and doing a few experiments. It turns
out that the queue-printing code always uses the filename, even when a
job name is specified. I suspect this is the bug, so I will write a
patch up and submit it to release engineering.
In the mean time, there's really no way to get around it.
